New submission from Joseph Armbruster:
Operating System:
OS Name: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
OS Version: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
Using the latest Python 2.5.1.msi from:
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.1/python-2.5.1.msi
Perform the following steps:
- launch python-2.5.1.msi
- select next
- select next
- select Advanced
- select cancel
- select yes
Issue:
I think the issue may reside around line 698/699 in these lines of msi.py
c = advanced.cancel("Cancel", "CompilePyc")
c.event("SpawnDialog", "CancelDlg")
I have vs2005, so I can not really test/utilize msi.py that easily.
Note: If anyone can build an msi with vs2005 please give me the details
on how you did so. My initial hackery went along the lines of:
- built solution in release
- modded msi.py for pcbuild8
- modded msisupport.mak to include libpath for msi.lib
- ran python msi.py
- ...told to run icons.mak in pc dir
- ran icons.mak
- reran python msi.py
- built w9xpopen from PC/VC6/pcbuild solution
... realized I had to change msi.py for VisualStudio8.0 registry keys
and quit here ...
I was advised on #python that the Orcas Beta is where it's at, so I am
downloading now.
